Because Birth Control regulate your period.
In a pack there are either only 21 pills (with hormones)
or 28 pills.... 21 with hormones and 7 placebos ( the placebos are only used to keep the user taking pills every day. Rather than possibly forgetting to start the hormones in 7 days)
Because a pills taken each day this lets you know exactly when your period will occur. *Between 21 and 27 days*
Pills can also decrease a heavy flow, sometimes stopping it ll together.
Some doctors are now prescribing 3 months worth a 7 day break after 3 months, This results in 4 periods pr calendar year.
